"Europe, Our Common Future" [antikvár]

I^ear Friends, It is my enormous pleasure to be able to present this book "Europe, Our Common Future" which is a special contribution of FEPS to celebrate the PES 20th anniversary. As I always followed closely the process of the building up of the European party, I am delighted that so many of us can be here to share this occasion. I hope that this publication can help us to see where we have come from, what has been established and what we have achieved. Today, we have to really show our gratitude to those colleagues that showed so much commitment to the project. Also the fundamental principles which were laid down in the creation of the PES are still true today. We have travelled so far in our journey of integration and unity, we have accomplished so much. For instance, since the creation for the Party there has always been a common manifesto for the European elections. Now looking towards the future, the next important stage is having a common top candidate for the President of the European Commission. Being a visionary, I would like to witness even further developments; indeed an authentic European Party gathering on a transnational basis, a common list for the 2019 European elections. In some ways twenty years doesn 't seem that long ago, but so much has been accomplished, and today, through this short history, we can be proud to remember all that we have done together, is better.
